Mount Rainier (LeBaron)
by Godfrey J. Ellis – 14×18 Acrylic March 2023
One of our new missionaries, he is kind, helpful, and thoughtful. What wonderful young people we have. It’s a pleasure to paint this souvenir for him. He wanted Mount Rainier as a background.
Below is a photo of him holding his portrait. He is a tall one – or maybe I’m just shrinking.
Here are four photos of the portrait as it took shape. I almost gave up in horror when he had white hair and lipstick (the third one) but, fortunately, I managed to get past that one to a satisfactory conclusion.
